Here's a little glimpse into my creative process making a Native American style flute. I've had the joy of making all different types of instruments from around the world and the Native American style flute is one of my favorites.

I will be posting a video soon about how to hollow out a lathe-turned flute! Stay tuned.

I must have missed the part where he hollows out the flute... kind of an important part there...

Nice job man, what do you use for the finish coat or sealer

How do you know where to place the finger holes?

Cedar comes pre-hollowed out

How did you hallow out the inside?

@calebbyerly 2 года назад

It depends on how long the length of the flute is but for this one I used an 3/4" auger bit.

This is great! Why burn the holes rather than drill to size? Not a critique, just curious if there was a functional reason, or just for esthetics. Thanks!

@calebbyerly Год назад

I like to burn the holes to tune it in perfect pitch,. It's hard to sand out the little burs on the inside of the bore made from drilling. Using a hot iron burns the burs off. I also like the esthetics of the burned holes.

Nice video. Thank you. what ointment do you use to polish it in the end? Signed up 🙏🏻💪❤️

@calebbyerly Год назад

Lovely video , but how did you hollow the flute ????

@calebbyerly 2 года назад

I just a 3/4" auger bit on the lathe or I route it out with a 3/4" router bit.

Hi, Caleb Love your flutes; lesson and your work. I wonder if I could ask you a technical question!? Simply; if I have a flute that plays really well; and I cut the tube off the flute! So; all I know have is the sound part and about two inchs of pipe in front of where the sound is generated and comes out! If I now blow through the very shortened section (and, again, this is where the sound is generated) ... if I blow through this, will I get a sound ... !? The reason that I ask is that; I have built a 34'' Contrabas flute; the long tube is finished, but not connected to the sound part, but, for the life of me, I cannot get any sound out of the sound part! I would have thought you could create sound through the sound part with it disconnected from the tube part ... !? Hope you can help on this one, as I am now completely stuck ... ! Best wishes ... William (Hampshire UK)

Hi William, I'll answer your question as best as possible. It's hard to give you an exact answer without seeing the flute. As long as the mouthpiece is made to sound very nice, you could put almost any size tube on it and it will make a sound. However, when you get past around 22 in long, the sound starts to drop out. That's because the sound waves do not get enough air intake and the sound starts to suffocate. The way to fix that is to make the channel and true sound hole bigger. But that's tricky and takes a lot of practice to get right. So for my guess, your 34" tube is too long.

Thank you, Caleb for that. It gives me much to think about.@@calebbyerly
